Lyrics
Cowboys Resignation
(from the cd ?Little Coma? released in 2004)
you?ve got a lot of issues cowboys
but if you want to wage war against some invisible advisary
well then that?s your burden to carry
and mind you, they?re the heaviest of kind
and I don?t mean no disrespect, put your feet up
and let your mind rest, because your cattles roaming free now
drunk on grass, lowing on the hillside
and even the love making games have changed,
some only care for what you drive and wear
and some just want you to make them laugh
and once laughters in, boy, better keep it there
and when your pushed too, far and stretched to thin,
that?s when nostalgia walks in,
and you?re going to recall the smell of the smoke,
glow of the fire, and a dozen words spoken between two men,
in one span of an hour
and I don?t mean no disrespect, put your feet up
and let your mind rest, because your cattles roaming free now
drunk on grass, lowing on the hillside
and it won?t rain like it use to could be a sign
but I don?t remember the last time I?ve seen snow
touch the third or fourth rung of a fence line
ain?t no nee for your early morning rise,
tie a bell around the necks of the ones that want to hide
you?re cattle are roaming free now, drunk on grass
lowing on the hillside, dried out grass, blowing on the hillside
drunk on grass lowing on the hillside
